Download or read book Being La Dominicana written by Rachel Afi Quinn and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2021-08-20 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rachel Afi Quinn investigates how visual media portray Dominican women and how women represent themselves in their own creative endeavors in response to existing stereotypes. Delving into the dynamic realities and uniquely racialized gendered experiences of women in Santo Domingo, Quinn reveals the way racial ambiguity and color hierarchy work to shape experiences of identity and subjectivity in the Dominican Republic. She merges analyses of context and interviews with young Dominican women to offer rare insights into a Caribbean society in which the tourist industry and popular media reward, and rely upon, the ability of Dominican women to transform themselves to perform gender, race, and class. Engaging and astute, Being La Dominicana reveals the little-studied world of today's young Dominican women and what their personal stories and transnational experiences can tell us about the larger neoliberal world.

Download or read book Nation and Citizen in the Dominican Republic 1880 1916 written by Teresita Martínez-Vergne and published by Univ of North Carolina Press. This book was released on 2006-05-18 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Combining intellectual and social history, Teresita Martinez-Vergne explores the processes by which people in the Dominican Republic began to hammer out a common sense of purpose and a modern national identity at the end of the nineteenth and beginning of the twentieth centuries. Hoping to build a nation of hardworking, peaceful, voting citizens, the Dominican intelligentsia impressed on the rest of society a discourse of modernity based on secular education, private property, modern agricultural techniques, and an open political process. Black immigrants, bourgeois women, and working-class men and women in the capital city of Santo Domingo and in the booming sugar town of San Pedro de Macoris, however, formed their own surprisingly modern notions of citizenship in daily interactions with city officials. Martinez-Vergne shows just how difficult it was to reconcile the lived realities of people of color, women, and the working poor with elite notions of citizenship, entitlement, and identity. She concludes that the urban setting, rather than defusing the impact of race, class, and gender within a collective sense of belonging, as intellectuals had envisioned, instead contributed to keeping these distinctions intact, thus limiting what could be considered Dominican.

Book excerpt: The Deportation Controversy Reveals Discrimination: Racism and Xenophobia in the Dominican Republic" is a compelling exploration of the stark realities faced by Haitian immigrants and Dominicans of Haitian descent in the Dominican Republic. This book delves into the complex and often painful intersection of immigration policy, race, and national identity, exposing the systemic discrimination that has sparked international outrage. Through meticulous research and powerful storytelling, the book uncovers the deeply ingrained prejudices and the controversial government actions that have led to widespread accusations of racism and xenophobia. It shines a light on the struggles of marginalized communities, detailing their experiences of abuse, violence, and exclusion. The book's cover image, contributed by Mr. Steevenson Seraphin, a prominent voice in the Haitian community, captures a disturbing incident where immigration agents mistreated Haitian immigrants, including pregnant women and children, confining them in cages like animals. This powerful visual sets the tone for the book, highlighting the urgent need for global awareness and action. Overview This book provides an in-depth analysis of the Dominican Republic's deportation policies and the broader socio-political context that fuels discrimination against Haitian immigrants. It addresses the historical roots of Dominican-Haitian relations, the role of nationalism in shaping public perception, and the impact of these policies on the lives of those affected. Key Themes: Systemic Racism and Xenophobia: A detailed examination of the discriminatory practices embedded in Dominican society and their impact on Haitian communities. Government Policy and International Response: Analysis of the Dominican government's immigration policies and the subsequent backlash from the international community, including human rights organizations. Personal Narratives: Stories from those who have lived through the persecution, offering a human face to the statistics and policies. Calls for Change: Proposals for addressing the root causes of discrimination and fostering a more inclusive and just society. This book is not just a critique; it is a call to action, urging readers to recognize the humanity in all individuals, regardless of nationality or skin color, and to stand against the forces of hatred and exclusion.

This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Documents a seismic shift in Dominican identity over the last two decades which the author argues is the result of contact with the U.S.; that Dominicans have moved away from seeing themselves as indio and increasingly self-identify as Black."--Robin Derby, University of California, Los Angeles In Latin America and the Caribbean, racial issues are extremely complex and fluid, particularly the nature of "blackness." What it means to be called "black" is still very different for an African American living in the United States than it is for an individual in the Dominican Republic with an African ancestry. Racial categories were far from concrete as the Dominican populace grew, altered, and solidified around the present notions of identity. Kimberly Simmons explores the fascinating socio-cultural shifts in Dominicans' racial categories, concluding that Dominicans are slowly embracing blackness and ideas of African ancestry. Simmons also examines the movement of individuals between the Dominican Republic and the United States, where traditional notions of indio are challenged, debated, and called into question. How and why Dominicans define their racial identities reveal shifting coalitions between Caribbean peoples and African Americans, and proves intrinsic to understanding identities in the African diaspora. Kimberly Eison Simmons, president of the Association of Black Anthropologists, is assistant professor of anthropology and African American studies at the University of South Carolina.

Download or read book The Feast of the Goat written by Mario Vargas Llosa and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2011-03-04 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WINNER OF THE NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATURE In The Feast of the Goat, this 'masterpiece of Latin American and world literature, and one of the finest political novels ever written' (Bookforum), Mario Vargas Llosa recounts the end of a regime and the birth of a terrible democracy, giving voice to the historical Trujillo and the victims, both innocent and complicit, drawn into his deadly orbit. Haunted all her life by feelings of terror and emptiness, forty-nine-year-old Urania Cabral returns to her native Dominican Republic - and finds herself reliving the events of l961, when the capital was still called Trujillo City and one old man terrorized a nation of three million. Rafael Trujillo, the depraved ailing dictator whom Dominicans call the Goat, controls his inner circle with a combination of violence and blackmail. In Trujillo's gaudy palace, treachery and cowardice have become a way of life. But Trujillo's grasp is slipping. There is a conspiracy against him, and a Machiavellian revolution already underway that will have bloody consequences of its own. "A fierce, edgy and enthralling book ... Mr. Vargas Llosa has pushed the boundaries of the traditional historical novel, and in doing so has written a book of harrowing power and lasting resonance."--The New York Times
